Isaiah Hartenstein could miss Knicks’ game vs. Nets with foot injury
NY Post
Isaiah Hartenstein hasn’t missed a game in his two seasons with the Knicks, but that might change Tuesday night in Brooklyn.
Hartenstein did not practice Monday, and the Knicks officially are listing their recent starting center as questionable for Tuesday’s game at Barclays Center with a sore left foot suffered in Saturday’s win over the Raptors.
The Knicks initially had said that night that the injury was to his left ankle.
Precious Achiuwa and little-used big man Jericho Sims likely would fill in for Hartenstein, who has averaged 7.4 points, 11.7 rebounds and 33.8 minutes in 17 starts this season.
Sims had started the first five games after Mitchell Robinson underwent ankle surgery in December.
But he also missed time with an ankle injury and then was buried behind since-released veteran Taj Gibson and, more recently, Achiuwa on the depth chart.

Last spring’s ultimate defeat, coming on top of a quite similar one 24 months earlier, should have proved once and for all that the Rangers’ skill game, impressive at it at may be in spurts, does not overcome their physicality deficiency at the final-four level.
